Multiplication Properties Explained

This document provides examples and explanations of three multiplication properties: zero property, identity property, and commutative property. It includes practice problems for students to solve. The zero property states that multiplying any number by zero equals zero. The identity property means multiplying a number by one equals the original number. The commutative property is when the order of factors does not change the product. Students are asked to identify examples, solve equations, and determine if parking lot arrangements have the same space.

Multiplication Properties: Zero,


Lesson 15 Identity and Commutative

LET US KNOW
You have learned before how to multiply using groups and array.
In array you either count first the columns or rows depending on the
given numbers. In group you count the groupings first then the item
inside of it or what are on the object itself.

Just like the given multiplication on the above picture. There are 4
children and this what we could group. In each child he/she have 2
books which mean it is the item we need to count. When you put it on a
multiplication sentence, it will be written as 4 × 2 = 8.
But how do you multiply if you do not have nothing to multiply on
the first place? How will you multiply a number to one? Or what will
happen when the numbers changed their position? Will the answer or
product still the same?

There are 4 pots on the table which will


served as groups. In each group or
pots there are no flower is planted.
If there are 3 pots and 0 flower, how
many flowers are there in all?

Another example are 6 groups of jars.
In each jar is empty. So, when you write, it
will be 6 × 0 = 0.

In multiplication when you multiply any number to zero, the answer will
be 0. This is what we call zero property.

There is 1 cookie tray. In one cookie


tray has 6 cookies.
You can write it as 1 × 6 = 6

Another example, there are 3 plates. In every plate there is one


sandwich. So, when you write, it will be 3 × 1 = 3.

When you multiply any number


to one, the answer will always be the
number itself. This called identity
property.

There is one cabinet fill with jars. It has 2


column and 4 rows which can be written as
2 × 4.

But the cabinet fell to its side. The arrays of jars


has changed. It has now 4 columns and 2
rows. It is now written as 4 × 2.

2
This property of multiplication is called commutative property. The
order of numbers you multiply do not matter. You can multiply them in
any order you want, and the answer will be the same. This can help
sometimes when you get stuck on a problem like multiplying 2 × 20.

LET US PRACTICE
